The former coach of San Luis, André Jardine, now at the helm of América, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the refereeing decisions that have affected his team. During an interview on the Futbol Picante program, Jardine confronted Javier Alarcón, a well-known critic of América, and questioned the treatment of contested plays involving the Eagles.
In his statements, Jardine mentioned the importance of Liga MX taking care of refereeing issues to prevent criteria from being influenced by the disputing institutions. He referred to controversial penalties not called in favor of América, such as a push on Bonatini, which could have changed the course of certain matches.
On the other hand, Jardine also pointed out that during his time at San Luis, there were long periods without receiving penalties in their favor and with refereeing decisions they considered unfair. In response to Alarcón's criticism regarding América's title wins, the Brazilian coach defended his team's performance and asked for equitable treatment in refereeing decisions.
During the discussion on Futbol Picante, past incidents were recalled, such as the unawarded penalty in favor of América in a match against Cruz Azul, as well as fouls committed by Rodolfo Rotondi in a final. Jardine confronted Alarcón about the time devoted to debating these situations, insinuating a possible bias in the media coverage of events related to his team.
